According to an emphatic entry from 1971 in Dizionario Biografico degli Italiani ( Treccani), his name is simply "Giovanni", not "Giovanni Battista" [1]. I would generally tend consider this relatively recent encyclopedic source more reliable than the 1879 entry from The American Cyclopedia currently cited in support of "Giovanni Battista" [2], or other tertiary sources from that era, such as the 1911 Encyclopedia Britannica [3]. His current Grove entry makes no mention of Battista and I can't see any reference to the name by the Bononcini scholar Anthony Ford. The Italian Wikipedia goes with plain "Giovanni". Should we do so too? 86.162.136.32 ( talk) 14:09, 26 September 2013 (UTC)
How come he went to compose music for the Treaty of Aix-La-Chapelle (1748) if he died in 1747? 58.152.33.141 ( talk) 13:46, 1 October 2015 (UTC)
The portrait of Bononcini in the Museo della musica di Bologna is certainly not contemporary. It was done about 40 years after Bononcini's death.-- Suessmayr~enwiki ( talk) 06:04, 29 May 2016 (UTC)
